some follow up stream showers today but the coldpool with the best of the coldies will be gone east by sunrise.we'll remain in a general westerly with early showers on monday for the duration until the next front monday night\tues morning when winds will kick around to s-sw with an associated burst of showers easing through tuesday.after that things will fine up rapidly with the godzilla ridge from hell moving in for the duration with a possible front between highs around next weekend.

***godzilla ridge from hell******big bastard highs******badass frosts***hmmmm...... with all this official s.a. meteorological terminology flying around i would think one would seem to be getting a bit of a hint there might be something going on here.by the time this is over we'll all be hanging out for cold fronts and rain not for the wet but to simply warm things up a bit.

Yer looking like some frosty mornings this week for sure...Longer term, hopefully EC isnt correct with the ridge/high basically staying in the same spot for 2 weeks!I favour a reasonable system early next week going by the other models, and dont look at GFS in 2 weeks time as its on drugs lol.... with a stupid NE infeed/inland low lol.... not gonna happen...

Absolutely bucketing down at Athelstone at the moment - have had heavy drizzle up here since about 9am this morning, yet the radar barely shows a drop - can't wait for Buckland Park to come back online.

tonight the actual front is due through between 1-3am dependinghow far south or north you live in the GAA.its a very laid back affair, from adelaide east running about 45°and from adelaide west running about 30° off the horizontal tending to almost zonal above the high.

Saturday's weather was a real slobber knocker/ball tearer event even if it was only short lived still provided a temp cure for SDS this week looks alright for being outside apart from as you described Thunda ***badass frosts*** pretty much could say brass monkey balls mornings

models have the'possible front' on the weekend as something a bit more substantial early to mid next week now. couple of quite interesting progs from access and gfs, different from each other but both quite droolable in their own right.access has your bog standard garden variaty cold front but the real rabbit out of the hat will be the retrograde cyclogenesis and cut off cold pool pushing against and overcoming an incoming ridge from the west. i'll believe that when it happens and if it does it will certainly be one for the books or at least its own thread.gfs on the other hand has an already formed low bubbling up from the deep south under w.a. against an incoming ridge then heading west through the bight to t-bone us, the best part of this one is as it gets to us it is progged to hook up with a moisture infeed from the north coming down through eastern n.t./western qld. if it does happen we should do pretty well depending on the timing of the moisture hook up but as usual with these setups the eastern states always do much better. all pie in the sky at the moment but at least something interesting to watch and comment on rather than anticyclonoic gloom and frosty mornings.

It will be interesting to see if the GFS can pull a rabbit out of its butt mid next week Thunda the prospect of said low hooking up with moisture from the Territory/Western QLD should be enough to have everyone frothing at the mouth however like you have mentioned it all comes down to timing and whether or not it happens

However it would be worth keeping an eye also on said rabbit in the hat retrograde cyclogenesis/cut off cold pool happens as well it would make for an interesting mid week weather event providing it doesn't poke its tongue out at us then go smash NSW

rofl RS, yer that second scenario is certainly droolable but i think if it did happen the poking it's tongue out at us and smashing NSW is the more likley scenario for sure.we won't get too carried away, models are jumping all over the place trying to get a handle on things, still a good week away at the earliest, plenty of time to sit and chew the fat.
